Hey guys I just found and joined the forum. I've had my 1977 Malibu Classic since I was 16, got it in 1995. While in high school I did some work on it, had it repainted, new vinyl top and reupholstered the seats. I haven't driven it too much and its been sitting two states away in parent's barn for the last 10 plus years. It needs quite a bit of work to get it looking the way I want it. It needs new quarter panels, trunk floor and other sheet metal work. If I could weld and paint I would be able to get the body looking better. The only pictures I have on my computer are from 8 years ago and not the best quality. I had to post some pics so these are the best I have. The interior is red with white swivel bucket seats.

Thanks Guys! I've been reading through some of the other threads already and learning/relearning things about the car. When I went to college I had all intentions of working on the car when I graduated but was offered a job in a different state so that put things on the back burner. I've been lucky to have a place to store it otherwise I know I wouldn't have the car still.

My dad usually starts it every few months to keep the fluids flowing and it pops off every time. It has a 305 with a four barrel carb we put on and a custom exhaust. Interior needs some work but the most critical is the sheet metal.

I like your car. 77's one of my faves. I bought a 77 Malibu Classic brand new back in 77. I'm wondering why you have a Malibu grille, instead of a Malibu Classic grille though? Did you change it, or was it that way when you bought it?

Thanks guys! I changed the grille. A guy we knew bought a Malibu (I think it was a 76) to race on a dirt track and had some parts left over. I think the original grille was showing some age and this one looked better. I changed it back in '98 so its been a while since I've seen the other one. I also have an all chrome grille but I couldn't get that one to fit right, the holes wouldn't line up. I still have that one too.
